Launch a comprehensive programme for retired sportspersons

The promise was to launch a new programme for sportspersons with benefits such as educational opportunities, employment opportunities and promotion opportunities. Official PIB material identifies the Retired Sportsperson Empowerment Training Programme, launched in 2024, as a programme providing tailor-made education, internships and skill-building opportunities to retired sportspersons. PIB states that RESET is designed to address employment needs of retired athletes and human-resource gaps in India's sports sector, offering career pathways in coaching, administration, mentoring and related roles. This closely matches the promised education and employment support for sportspersons after retirement, even though the manifesto did not use the RESET name. Since a dedicated programme has been launched and its benefit categories align with the promise, the verdict is fulfilled. Budget: no separate approved-source budget allocation for RESET was found.
